Male. Hygiene is key, too. Even if I shower the night before, I usually take one in the morning just to get my routine going and I brush my teeth at work once I'm done with lunch. it's all about peace...

I consider myself as a good dresser. And yea, you're right it gives you confidence. I'm not "too fancy", just like to get dress well. P.S you're male or female?...

I was nervous about stuttering in front of girls. I found out that I stutter less in front of them. I have to be in a relationship for a few months, before it becomes really noticeable. They never se...

I always did a great job of concealing my stutter by choosing my words carefully but when I met my gf of six years she found my stutter to be cute for some odd reason, I got somewhat lucky because sh...

Practice meditating/Self-affirmations/self love daily, avoid toxic people in your life if not then fuck what other people think, understand that you're trying to be the best version of yourself every ...

I hate this so much!

I hate this so much! I am what some would consider a textbook extrovert- I absolutely **LOVE** to talk. However, I have a terrible stutter. I’ve made a conscious effort to work on my speech and on t...

I wouldn’t say this is directly to do with stuttering. This could be geared more towards your mental health. How do you sleep? How well do you eat? Is your diet balanced? Having a stutter is a pain in...

It is the same for me. Personally, I think it is connected with that when I go a few days without talking my thinking goes back to "Stuttering is a big deal!", but when I speak day in and day out I am...

This was my interpretation as well, thanks! It would make it entirely different if he knew all along that the woman was deaf. ...

To live an authentic life our vulnerabilities need to be exposed. That goes for all of us. People who stutter are forced into it early and are forced to confront their vulnerability all.the.time. I’ve...

I likely won’t mention it beforehand. I don’t think mentioning it beforehand has been helpful for me since I’m not afraid about them finding out just how my body will react (blinking, jerking, freezin...

not sure if this will help, but i think mine gets worse and then better. i don’t usually mention it unless it’s to a nice lady at a bar (mostly so she doesn’t think i’m hammered) but a therapist did a...

Quite the opposite for me really. I gain a tremendous amount of fluency when I actually talk about my stutter....

yeah, it happens with me, too. i don't really like doing self-advertisement, i kind of figure they will figure it out!...

Tell people you have a stutter at the start of the talk, it is common practice for me in research talks and all my interviews now. Slightly settles the nerves and gets rid of the "fear of being found ...

For me, I'd say that "success" would be to feel comfortable and natural in the new way of speaking. When I can focus on slowing my rate of speech, I have pretty much a "normal person" level of fluency...
